I have been reading all over blog land about everyone lightening up there homes. I think when the days are short and the skies are grey it can get a little gloomy inside.So the other day, in order to lighten up a little I painted some black candle sticks I had, a creamy color.Here is the candle sticks BEFORE in black - which I loved, but I was ready for a change.... Ready to lighten up...

AFTERAnd here they are a creamy white. I dry brushed a little gold craft paint on top of the white and sanded them a little.

I love the new look! Now that doesn't mean that I won't paint them again someday....maybe red down the road...Welcome Home,Penny

You did a great job! I have been noticing that little half-table of yours with the checks on it. Did you paint that yourself or did you buy it that way? I have a similar table and maybe this is what needs to be done to it... 'cept I don't have any painting skills at all. :-( Have a great day!KarenLadybug Creek

Brilliant! (Get it?) I'm always amazed at the beautiful things people do with paint. My projects are few and far between, but I'm hoping to paint the back wall of a shelf case, maybe in the spring. Or, maybe I should take a hint from your post and lighten up January/February and do it now! Hmmmm......we'll see.WendyBee

These look great.I am finding myself loving more and more and more WHITES and CREAMS. I am thinking of painting some of my black furniture in white..I have seen so many rooms that are white that are to die for.I painted my guest room in a creamy white and my living room and dining room are both white.Does our changing moods ever stop!!?? haha...
